Thai police warn that heavy fines, prison awaits those responsible if "Skullbreaker Challenge" goes wrong

 

 

The RTP spokesman has warned Thais - especially youth - not to post videos of people attempting the "Skullbreaker Challenge".

 

The challenge involves two people kicking the feet from under a third participant as they jump in the air. This then knocks the third person off balance, often causing them to land on their head.

 

It was reported by Thaivisa at the weekend that people on the popular Tik Tok app were posting.

 

Pol Col Krissana warned people not to post videos of the craze that started in South America.

 

He said that there are fines up to 60,000 baht if injuries result and people can be jailed for 3 years.

 

Even ten years if someone died.

Should be punished anyway, even if no one is hurt.

When you know how highly the Thai police are held by the people who spend their lives on their smartphones watching all the nonsense posted by their fellows ...
They don't care ..
His words will have as much effect as brushing the dog ...

[spiekerjozef]

They should start that in the Premier League.

More fun then falling on the grass when nobody ever touched you

[neeray]

Good! A proactive decision for once.

Much wiser than reactive.

[sanemax]

dont think that its a good idea to give this publicity , especially describing how its done

I would also like the Thai police to take charge of the Thai newspapers and TV which post videos of the Khorat carnage as well as these thousands of videos of fatal accidents on the road.
To believe that the only thing that makes the Thai being hard  is the death, preferably violent, of his neighbor.

Those two are cheating, neither is jumping in the air...

If Thai police were to ever become as brutal as that of their Chinese counterparts (some will say, Thailand is China's lapdog anyway) then watch how quickly attitudes will change. Of course now, no one cares because the police here are so corrupt and carefree, you can get away with just about anything, especially if you have money. That may very well change, if Thailand were to ever change along Chinese lines...

Surely one or two fractured skulls to prove that it really is dangerous!

[natway09]

They do not seem to care about the carnage on the  road so whats the big fuss about a couple of stupid youths cracking their skull.

But seriously it is a crazy thing to do 

[RubbaJohnny]

Luckily a diet of Yabba Kratom rougebulls and lakorn protects the numbskulls few will even notice unless they loose line of site with their dumbfones.As the nights of Rizla advise roll with the times.

[timendres]

More of these challenges, please. We need the culling.

[Tengtai]

How stupid is it allowed to be?

[Redline]

What an idiotic thing to engage in!  Now start going after the people driving the weapons on the roads

[Mark17AA]

Might actually knock some sense into them over here. Doubt it though not much in there heads to start with.

[Winky Wilson]

Come on people, lets do the skullbreaker challenge, everyones doing it.  and I thought going to Thai Immigration was the skullbreaker challenge, now this..

[Nanaplaza666]

If they get cought, the police don't need to put them in jail or fine them , just hand them over to me i will show them some scull crushing old style . I will kick their sculls in , and then stomp on their sculls . F....ng idiots .

There seem to be so many really dumb people about these days.  I hope they invent more stupid stuff like this to keep their numbers down and stop them breeding.  How, about the 'smash you nuts with a hammer challenge next'?

this is odd.

 

would expect 500 baht and a wai.  it's good enough for 'brake failure.'

[30la]

How much you have to be an idiot to make such a "game" ....

[PeeJayEm]

What the Police have issued is a perfectly reasonable and responsible message of awareness. 
What else are they supposed to do?

In case the old white fogeys here criticising the Police on this action have completed their progress to having gone bush, demented and unreal, for your information it’s actually what a responsible Police service in any western country would also be expected to do.

Come on! Talk talk talk which will be followed by nothing at all. Would anyone expect anything else?

[WhatupThailand]

Fits right in with my suggestion about Dueling Events, just add it into the half time arena.

"Step right up folks....."

Brushing a dog has many benefits, both for the dog and the person brushing. 

[LEZZA]

Wow that's  a great idea ... show a video demonstration of how it's  done ... even more copycats now

[lust]

Seeing <deleted> like this from the new generation kinda makes me root for the corona virus to be honest or another world war.. hopefully tik tok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram will be banned. We were better off without it.

[ChaiyaTH]

I am not sure which part in the video was more stupid;
that they kicked him down in the first place or then moved his neck and head while he could have serious <deleted>.
